Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rearview mirror technology, and more particularly to an adjustable rearview mirror for golf carts. Background Technology

[0002] Golf carts are typically open-top designs, with rearview mirrors mounted on both sides in front of the steel frame. The purpose of these mirrors is obvious: to expand the driver's field of vision, reduce blind spots, and thus improve driving safety. Most golf carts only have folding mirrors; while they can be folded and unfolded, their height cannot be adjusted, which can affect driving for people of different heights.

[0003] Furthermore, when the driver's seat position changes or someone in the passenger seat obstructs the rearview mirror, the mirror must be adjusted again. Adjusting only the angle without changing its position may still obstruct the driver's view. Therefore, the proposed adjustable rearview mirrors on golf carts effectively address these situations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problem of limited adjustment range of rearview mirrors on golf carts, this invention provides an adjustable rearview mirror for golf carts, enabling flexible adjustment of the mirror's height, horizontal position, and angle. This allows the driver greater freedom to adjust the mirror and avoid obstructions.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The adjustable rearview mirror on the golf cart is mounted on a steel frame and includes a mounting sleeve, a cross brace, a ball head pin, and the rearview mirror body. The mounting sleeve is fitted onto the frame and slides along the frame to facilitate adjustment of the height of the mounting sleeve. A hand-tightening bolt is threaded onto the mounting sleeve, one end of which passes through the mounting sleeve and presses against the frame to facilitate locking and unlocking the mounting sleeve.

[0007] The mounting sleeve is provided with a horizontal support rod on one side. The horizontal support rod is arranged horizontally and a ball joint pin is provided on the horizontal support rod. The ball joint pin is arranged vertically and the rearview mirror body is universally connected above the ball joint pin. The rearview mirror body and the horizontal support rod are arranged vertically at intervals to facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the rearview mirror body.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting sleeve is a circular ring sleeve with a groove on its inner wall. A spring plate is engaged in the groove. The spring plate is a bent, arc-shaped piece that corresponds to the hand-tightening bolt. One end of the hand-tightening bolt presses against the middle of the spring plate, tightly against the frame. The spring plate's preload prevents the hand-tightening bolt from loosening.

[0009] Furthermore, the ball joint pin is horizontally adjustable on the cross brace, and the ball joint pin slides horizontally along the cross brace to facilitate adjustment of the horizontal position of the ball joint pin. A nut is connected to the lower end of the ball joint pin to lock the ball joint pin.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross brace has a groove to provide sliding space for the ball head pin. The ball head pin passes vertically through the groove. The ball head pin includes a threaded section, a ball head section, and a prism section. The ball head section is provided at one end of the threaded section, and the prism section is also provided on the threaded section.

[0011] Furthermore, the threaded section extends downward through the groove and is connected to the nut. The prism section abuts against the upper surface of the cross brace. The prism section and the nut cooperate to clamp the cross brace to fix the ball head pin.

[0012] Furthermore, the rearview mirror body includes a housing and a rearview mirror lens embedded in the housing. A connecting block is provided on one side of the lower part of the housing. The connecting block is spaced apart from the cross brace. A spherical groove is provided in the connecting block. The ball head is embedded in the spherical groove and fits tightly with the spherical groove.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model through the above technical solution are:

[0014] This utility model's mounting sleeve is fitted onto the vehicle frame and can slide along the frame, thereby adjusting the height of the rearview mirror body. The mounting sleeve is unlocked and locked by a hand-tightened bolt. A cross brace is provided on one side of the mounting sleeve, and a ball joint pin can move horizontally on the cross brace, facilitating the adjustment of the rearview mirror body's horizontal position. The ball joint pin is locked and unlocked by engaging with a nut. The rearview mirror body is universally connected to the ball joint pin, facilitating the adjustment of the rearview mirror body's angle. In this way, the driver can flexibly adjust the rearview mirror as needed, maximizing the field of vision and meeting the requirements of driving safety. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the adjustable rearview mirror on the golf cart is mounted on a steel frame 1, which is a steel frame welded from round steel tubes. The rearview mirror is mounted on the round steel tube at the front of the frame 1. The adjustable rearview mirror includes a mounting sleeve 2, a cross brace 3, a ball joint pin 4, and a rearview mirror body 5.

[0023] Mounting sleeve 2 is a circular sleeve that fits onto the vehicle frame 1. Mounting sleeve 2 can slide along the vehicle frame 1, thereby adjusting its height and ultimately adjusting the height of the rearview mirror body 5. To fix the position of mounting sleeve 2, a hand-tightening bolt 6 is threaded onto it. One end of the hand-tightening bolt 6 passes through the mounting sleeve 2. Tightening the hand-tightening bolt 6, which presses it firmly against the vehicle frame 1, secures the mounting sleeve 2. Loosening the hand-tightening bolt 6 allows the mounting sleeve 2 to slide freely and adjust its height.

[0024] To prevent the hand-tightened bolt 6 from loosening, a rectangular groove 7 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 2. The two ends of the groove 7 are continuously uneven toothed surfaces. A spring plate 8 is engaged in the groove 7. The spring plate 8 is a rectangular piece bent into an arc shape. The two ends of the spring plate 8 are engaged with the toothed surfaces, which allows the spring plate 8 to be installed in the groove 7.

[0025] The spring plate 8 is positioned corresponding to the hand-tightening bolt 6. This means that one end of the hand-tightening bolt 6 no longer directly contacts the frame 1, but instead contacts it through the spring plate 8. When the hand-tightening bolt 6 is tightened, one end of the bolt presses against the middle of the spring plate 8, tightly against the frame 1, thus ensuring close contact between the middle of the spring plate 8 and the frame 1. When the hand-tightening bolt 6 is loosened, the spring plate 8 automatically returns to its original position in the slot 7. This not only achieves locking and unlocking of the mounting sleeve 2, but also provides continuous preload force through the elastic deformation of the spring plate 8, preventing the bolt from loosening.

[0026] A horizontal support rod 3 is installed on one side of the mounting sleeve 2. The horizontal support rod 3 is horizontally arranged and extends horizontally to the outside of the frame 1. The length of the horizontal support rod 3 is 5-10cm. A ball head pin 4 is installed on the horizontal support rod 3. The ball head pin 4 is vertically arranged and is adjustablely mounted on the horizontal support rod 3. That is, the ball head pin 4 is horizontally adjustable and can slide horizontally along the horizontal support rod 3. The ball head pin 4 includes an integrally formed threaded section 41, a ball head section 42, and a prism section 43. The threaded section 41 is threaded rod-shaped. A ball head section 42 is provided at one end of the threaded section 41. The ball head section 42 is spherical. A prism section 43 is also provided on the threaded section 41. The prism section 43 is hexagonal prism-shaped and is close to the ball head section 42.

[0027] To facilitate the sliding of the ball head pin 4, a groove 9 is provided on the cross brace 3. The groove 9 vertically penetrates the cross brace 3, and its length is less than the length of the cross brace 3. The cross-section of the groove 9 is "T". The ball head pin 4 vertically penetrates the groove 9, that is, the threaded section 41 penetrates the groove 9 downwards. A nut 10 is connected to the lower end of the ball head pin 4 to lock it. Specifically, after the threaded section 41 penetrates the groove 9 downwards, it is connected to the nut 10, which is a cap nut 10.

[0028] After tightening nut 10, prism segment 43 presses tightly against the upper surface of cross brace 3, and prism segment 43 and nut 10 cooperate to clamp cross brace 3, which can fix ball head pin 4. Loosening nut 10 or ball head pin 4 can adjust the horizontal position of ball head pin 4 on cross brace 3, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of rearview mirror body 5.

[0029] A rearview mirror body 5 is omnidirectionally connected above the ball joint pin 4. The rearview mirror body 5 and the cross brace 3 are arranged vertically at intervals, allowing the rearview mirror body 5 to be adjusted at any angle. The rearview mirror body 5 includes a housing and a rearview mirror lens embedded in the housing, with the housing protecting the rearview mirror lens.

[0030] When the ball joint pin 4 is installed with the rearview mirror body 5, a connecting block 11 is provided on one side of the lower part of the housing. The connecting block 11 is spaced apart from the cross brace 3. A spherical groove is formed in the connecting block 11, and the ball joint section 42 is embedded in the spherical groove and fits tightly with the spherical groove. In this way, after the angle of the rearview mirror body 5 is adjusted, it can automatically fix and maintain that angle.

[0031] The principle of this invention is as follows: To adjust the rearview mirror as needed, the driver can loosen the hand-tightening bolt 6 and slide the mounting sleeve 2 up and down to adjust the height of the rearview mirror body 5. Loosening the nut 10 or the ball joint pin 4 allows for horizontal sliding of the ball joint pin 4 to adjust the horizontal position of the rearview mirror body 5. With the ball joint pin 4 fixed, the rearview mirror body 5 can be directly pried open to adjust its angle, thus achieving multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment of the rearview mirror to meet the driver's actual usage needs.

[0032] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the patent claims of this utility model should be included within the scope of the patent application of this utility model.
